Patrick Maroon picked up two assists in Anaheim's 6-3 win over Calgary on Friday night.

It was Maroon's second helper on Jakob Silfverberg's tally to make it 5-2 late in the third period that was pretty. Maroon simply made a perfect pass under Kris Russell's outreached stick and onto Silf's streaking blade for the one-timer. Marron now has 21 assists and 28 points in 51 games this season.

Patrick Maroon scored the lone goal for the Ducks in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Maroon opened the scoring for both teams but unfortunately for Anaheim it was the only one for his team on the night. The goal was Maroon's seventh of the year and first goal since January 29th.

Patrick Maroon picked up an assist on Friday to extend his points streak to four games.

Maroon has been getting time on the first line with Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf in what is one of the best gigs in the NHL. Maroon now has six goals and 25 points in 42 games this season and is worth picking up in most pools at this time.

Patrick Maroon found the back of the net in a 4-0 win against Vancouver on Tuesday.

That extended Maroon's point streak to four games. He has five goals and 23 points in 40 contests in 2014-15. His fantasy value is tied to the fact that he's been playing predominantly with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, but as long as that doesn't change, he's worth owning in standard leagues.

Patrick Maroon collected two points in Anaheim's 5-1 win over New Jersey on Friday night.

After being sprung by Ryan Getzlaf for a breakaway, Maroon beat Keith Kinkaid over the shoulder on a wrister from the top of the circles late in the third period, ostensibly putting the dagger into the Devils heart. The tallies give Maroon three goals and 19 assist this season.

Maroon spent Friday on a line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, the dream of any winger on the Ducks or any other NHL team. Maroon is currently slumping with no goals in his last 15 games and only two on the season. This could be the break he and his fantasy owners have been looking for. If you need to take a chance, then Maroon is a nice pickup.

The Orange County Register reports that Patrick Maroon left practice on Saturday 'a bit woozy'.

Maroon was apparently knocked around in one drill but coach Bruce Boudreau does not think it was serious. If he is unable to go on Sunday, you'll know why. Maroon has two goals, 16 points, 29 PIMs, 48 hits, and 54 shots on goal through 32 games this season.

His leaving may have been more precautionary than anything else as Coach Boudreau doesn't seem to think it's "serious". Maroon has two goals, 16 points, 29 PIMs, 48 hits, and 54 shots on goal through 32 games this season.

Coach Bruce Boudreau enjoys putting Pat Maroon on the fourth line because of his size and toughness.

Boudreau likes playing Maroon with Nate Thompson and Tim Jackman as the trio gives the Ducks a very good fourth unit. "They’re a hard line to play against," Boudreau said. "And when they’re skating, they make it difficult. When they’re on and they’re pinning teams in the other zone, it really adds to the next line that comes on. I think it’s vitally important that you have four lines that can play. We’ve been lucky the last couple of years." While Maroon has far more fantasy value when a top-six forward, this could be the best thing for the Ducks as a team.

Patrick Maroon scored a goal and an assist in Anaheim’s 2-1 win over Arizona.

The goal was Maroon’s first of the season. The 26-year-old picked up a rebound in front of the net and buried it by Coyotes’ goaltender Mike Smith. Maroon also picked up an assist on Kyle Palmieri’s first period goal. He now has eight points in 14 games this season. He doesn’t have much (if any) fantasy value. Ryan Kesler assisted on both Anaheim goals in the game.

Patrick Maroon (knee) was activated from the injured reserved list on Friday.

Maroon was back on the top line alongside Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf as coach Bruce Boudreau sat Dany Heatley. Maroon will be a nice combination of penalty minutes and some points and is worth picking up at this time if available in deeper pools.

Ryan Getzlaf scored a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over Dallas.

By scoring two points tonight, Getzlaf tied Paul Kariya for second all-time on the Ducks' scoring list with 669 career points. Getzlaf registered an assist on Corey Perry's first period goal and he scored a goal of his own late in the third period. The 29-year-old has collected at least one point in five of his last six games. Getzlaf has 20 goals and 61 points in 61 games this season.

Ryan Kesler scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

Kesler's goal was a matter of being in the right place at the right time to finish off Andrew Cogliano's missed pass from Jakob Silfverberg, getting the Ducks on the board early in the third period. His assist came thanks to Corey Perry's ability to put one in the empty net from the defensive zone, after Kesler forced the turnover. He now has 16 goals and 39 points in 63 games this season.

Patrick Maroon picked up two assists in Anaheim's 6-3 win over Calgary on Friday night.

It was Maroon's second helper on Jakob Silfverberg's tally to make it 5-2 late in the third period that was pretty. Maroon simply made a perfect pass under Kris Russell's outreached stick and onto Silf's streaking blade for the one-timer. Marron now has 21 assists and 28 points in 51 games this season.

Emerson Etem scored his fourth of season in the Ducks' 4-2 win over the Kings on Friday night.

Etem started the play by evading Matt Greene's check by the offensive blue line and shoveling it behind the net as he lost his grip. Jiri Sekac moved it along to Rickard Rakell, who ripped one across the goal line, off Martin Jones and then off Emerson Etem for the game-tying tally in the third period. Etem now has four goals and eight points in 32 games this season.

Tomas Fleischmann is looking forward to being reunited with Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau.

Fleischmann used to work under Boudreau when they were both members of the Washington Capitals. "I'm just excited to play for him again," Fleischmann said. "I know what he can do. … He's a good players' coach. You always like to play for him. That's one of the reasons." He has seven goals and 21 points in 52 games this season with Florida. The Ducks acquired him in exchange for Dany Heatley and a third-round pick.

The trio combined for a goal on Friday as Etem found the back of the net in a 4-2 win over the Kings. "They played well," teammate Ryan Kesler said. "They were probably our best line, hemming them in. I think they hemmed them in for three minutes. (Kings defenseman Andrej) Sekera was on the ice for four minutes it seems. He was dying out there." The line could be quite a force in the playoffs for the Ducks.

The Ducks are getting calls on Matt Beleskey, according to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun.

Of course, the complication is that Beleskey, an unrestricted free agent, has been important to the Ducks this season, and they have hopes of going far in the playoffs. Beleskey has 21 goals and 30 points, in what has been a career season. The forward is out with a shoulder injury but has recently started to skate again.

It was Perry's second straight multi-point game. That gives him 27 goals and 45 points in 49 contests in 2014-15. He's one of the league's top players, but unfortunately injury troubles and a battle with the mumps have slowed him down somewhat in 2014-15.

Emerson Etem and Francois Beauchemin scored Anaheim's other two goals in regulation time. Jakob Silfverberg accounted for the game-winner in the shootout. Silfverberg also recorded an assist for Anaheim, along with Hampus Lindholm, Clayton Stoner, Ryan Getzlaf, and Kyle Palmieri.

Kyle Palmieri recorded his 11th goal of the campaign in a 6-2 blowout loss to Florida Tuesday night.

Palmieri's numbers, when prorated over an entire season, look quite impressive, but he was made a healthy scratch last week nonetheless. Tim Jackman also recorded a goal for the Ducks in the losing effort.

The Anaheim Ducks are hoping James Wisniewski will help them improve their power play.

The Ducks rank 21st in the NHL when it comes to their percentage power-play conversions (17.4%) despite the fact that they have some great offensive weapons. Having a power-play quarterback like Wisniewski on the roster should help and that in turn should boost Wisniewski's productions. There's a good chance he'll finish the season on a high note.

Hampus Lindholm collected an empty netter and an assist in Anaheim's 6-3 win over Calgary on Friday night.

The empty net goal was a beaut as Lindholm banked it off the defensive zone glass and in, right down Broadway. The two tallies gives him six goals and 27 points on the season through 54 games. It appears safe to assume that he'll surpass last year's total of 24 assists and 30 points in 78 games.

Vatanen was injured on February 15 and it was thought he would be out four-six weeks so he should return by the beginning of April at the latest which would still give him 10 days in the regular season to get ready for the playoffs. "I will be ready before the playoffs," Vatanen said. "I can play some games and be ready for the most exciting time of the season." Vatanen was the Ducks top offensive defenseman when injured as he had 12 goals and 34 points in 57 games.

Korbinian Holzer, who has a concussion, has been acquired by the Anaheim Ducks from the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Holzer was hurt in his first shift on Sunday. It's impossible for us to say how long he might miss due to the concussion, but he will help bolster the Ducks' defensive depth once he's healthy. He doesn't do enough offensively to warrant picking him up in standard leagues though. The Leafs received Eric Brewer and a fifth-rounder from the Ducks in the move.

Clayton Stoner will be in the lineup Monday night versus the Detroit Red Wings.

Stoner had missed Saturday's contest against the Oilers due a lower body injury but will be able to dress Monday night versus the Wings. Stoner will be playing in his 52nd game of the season Monday where he will look to find the back of the net for the first time this season. Eric Brewer will move back to the bench to make room for Stoner.

It will be his first game since Feb. 8 due to a neck injury. He has a 2.37 GAA and .916 save percentage in 44 contests in 2014-15. He was the clear starter before his injury, but he'll have to compete for playing time with John Gibson for the rest of the season.

Gibson was outstanding in the game and he was named the first star for his effort. The 21-year-old has stepped in for an injured Frederik Andersen and he's done a good job in the last little while. Gibson has won five of his last six games and he has an overall record of 8-5-0 on the season. The young goaltender has a 2.51 goals-against-average and a .920 save percentage.
